“Participating in a future European Football Club Super League is key news for the club’s economic future.” The president of Barça, Josep María Bartomeu, left this bomb before leaving office and revealed that the project of a closed league with the 16 best teams in Europe. The creation of the European Super League would mean a rupture in the organization of football at European and world level, the one that has worked best in all kinds in the 20th century and what we have been in the 21st century.
Aleksander Ceferin from his arrival to the presidency of UEFA, he detected the need to go hand in hand with the big clubs to preserve the Champions League, the best club competition in world football. Since his first term, the UEFA President has worked with the European Club Association (ECA) and, faced with the threat of the European Super League, he has intensified those contacts with the ECA seeking consensus to improve the Champions League.

Perfect storm for domestic competition, which sees the big guys plan a European league while the little ones run out of betting money
For weeks; Ceferin has created a working commission with five ECA clubs (Juventus, Real Madrid, Fenerbahce, Manchester United and Paris Saint Germain) and is progressing on the main lines of a SuperChampions. The debate is being arduous and hard, especially with Real Madrid, whose president Florentino Pérez is determined to start the Super League.
Pedro Lopez Jimenez, Vice President of the ECA and Real Madrid and Florentino’s man of maximum confidence, is the one who puts the most obstacles to the modification of the current Champions, giving way to the SuperChampions in these meetings. Conversely, Andrea Agnelli, President of the ECA and Juventus, he has already reached an agreement, he has publicly been in favor of the new Champions League and is no longer there for the work of the Super League.
Madrid is without partners
Since Ceferin has rolled up his sleeves, Madrid is losing support to create the Super League and the only club that supports him seamlessly is Milan. The rest of the teams are more convinced by the new SuperChampions, for which a new company would be set up, a company owned by UEFA and the clubs.
Ceferin’s idea is to persuade Florentino for Real Madrid to lead the new SuperChampions. Real Madrid was the founder of the European Cup with Santiago Bernabéu as leader. Florentine aspires to create a new competition to launch the reform of the stadium that Bernabéu built precisely to play that European Cup that he invented. The most logical thing would be for Real Madrid to lead the new SuperChampions together with UEFA. Florentino will surely give his arm to twist if he understands that it is the best for his team.
FIFA, which had been in profile for a few months, has come out in support of UEFA and is no longer in agreement with the Super League. With his support of the SuperChampions, the President of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, He has slapped the increasingly insistent rumors in recent months that placed him as CEO of that Super League with a salary at the height of that of Neymar, Cristiano or Simeone. It gives the impression that there has been a personal approach in this beginning of the year between Infantino and Ceferin, that it will also support the FIFA Club World Cup.
Strong statement from FIFA against the Superliga: they will not recognize it
Varapalo for managers, such as Florentino Pérez and Andrea Agnelli (president of Juventus), in their idea of going ahead with the creation of a Super League.
Meanwhile, the match is also played in domestic leagues. The threat of the Super League has caused Javier Tebas finally accept the pyramidal structure of football and have placed yourself where an employer’s association should be, which is nothing more than an association of professional clubs that depend on the federation of your country, as well as UEFA and FIFA. The president of the competition already knows that for the SuperChampions calendar to enter, LaLiga must reduce the participation of clubs, at least in the First Division, to 18 or, preferably, 16 teams.
Since he came to football just two decades ago, Thebes has lived in a permanent (presumed and supposed) conflict of interest. And now there may be a new case in Granada, where those who know about this say that the LaLiga boss can be judge and party through the lawyer Aranguren, who runs the Andalusian club free of charge. It just so happens that The company that exploits LaLiga’s rights in China is in turn the owner of Granada.
Tebas, very hard with the Super League: qualifies it as “clandestine” and points to Florentino Pérez
Javier Tebas is sharp and does everything in his power to take on Florentino Pérez’s arguments when he refers to the creation of the Football Super League
When fighting the Super League, Tebas must go hand in hand with UEFA and, therefore, with the Federation, dedicating itself solely to defending the interests of the clubs for which it works, although many of these clubs still believe that they are the ones who work for him. In short, Thebes defends and supports the Ceferin SuperChampions.
